Mum gave birth in middle of dinner party - but the other guests had no clue

A mum unexpectedly went into labour during a dinner party with the help of her husband and sister - while the rest of the family downstairs had no idea what was going on. Abbie Morris, 32, who gave birth to a little boy a week before her due date at home in Fareham, Hampshire, had invited relatives over for a meal on August 21.

But the junior merchandiser ended up going into labour before paramedics could arrive, forcing her husband Aaron, 32, and sister Grace, 29, to step in. Thankfully baby Jax was delivered safely and is doing well.

Abbie's parents didn't suspect a thing - with her mum continuing to keep the kids entertained while her dad continued cooking his homemade chilli in the kitchen. "My mum had no clue what on earth was going on – she was so distracted keeping the kids entertained she didn't realise I had had the baby upstairs," Abbie said.
